If they want expensive stuff - they need to learn to urn the money needed to buy the expensive stuff themselves - like we did (with a few exceptions who's parents were loaded) , or downsize their expectations.
There's a kid who mows our lawn - I pay him $25 , and he does most the neighbours lawns, got a good little tax free business going and he has saved enough to buy a 4 wheel motor bike thingy over the last few years .... wish more kids were like him. I reckon that kid is going places.
